MOLE WARFARE (4)

When the ground is frozen, as it is at the moment, the Mole Army faces a difficult choice. It can either dig deep, which is safe, but hard work. Or it can use existing well-worn tunnels, which is easy, but makes the moles dead ducks (or, rather, dead moles) for an experienced general such as myself.

And so it proved. Last night I nabbed one on the way out of the compost heap on the main supply route into the wood. Am I good or am I good?
